As requested, this patchkit supports grouped event lists, by using the stem as the section header. In addition it adds CPU override support, which is useful for testing.

The updated Intel event lists with redundant entries removed are available in
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ak/linux-misc.git perf/intel-json-files-2

% perf list
...
icache:
icache.hit
[Number of Instruction Cache, Streaming Buffer and Victim Cache Reads. both cacheable and noncacheable, including UC fetches]
icache.ifetch_stall
[Cycles where a code-fetch stalled due to L1 instruction-cache miss or an iTLB miss]
...
idq:
idq.all_dsb_cycles_4_uops
[Cycles Decode Stream Buffer (DSB) is delivering 4 Uops]
idq.all_dsb_cycles_any_uops
[Cycles Decode Stream Buffer (DSB) is delivering any Uop]
idq.all_mite_cycles_4_uops
[Cycles MITE is delivering 4 Uops]

PATCH 1/2 perf, tools: Group alias perf list by section

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

The first first element in an hardware event name defines the general area, usually the part of the micro architecture it is refering to. Group the perf list output by these sections by adding section headers.

PATCH 2/2 perf, tools: Add override support for event list CPUID

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Add a PERF_CPUID variable to override the CPUID of the current CPU. This is useful for testing, so that all event lists can be tested on a single system.
